Hey guys, I’ve got bad news my Hoover Electra dual spin 1000 F has a leak on the right side of the machine. What do you think would cause it? i’ve attached a photo of where it’s leaking from somewhere in the machine.

Door seal?
Have you checked the door seal at all? Might have a crack in it.
Nice machine! Wondering what the difference is between this and the 550? Seems neat!

I’m not actually sure what the difference is,
I’ll have to have a look and do you think it would potentially be in the folds of the door seal, I’ll probably run a empty cycle with a bunch of brighter to add a blue tint to the water
10 minutes later, yep, it’s the door seal. It’s dripping from the front inside the machine.

And here is proof
This old girl needs a new door seal

That’s a shame!
Door seals are pretty expensive! I got one for $50 (was the cheapest I could find). it’s all wrinkled and had bits of rubber or something all around it, like a layer of it was degrading.
Hopefully you can find a good one! These machines are awesome. I’d love to get a 555.

I’m probably thinking about going with
The more Expensive ones because I want it to last on the machine, And they actually did say to put a layer of talcum powder around the outside of the Door seal to help it last longer as it rubs against each other

That’s very interesting!
That powder might be it? Although I’m not too sure.
Might be a good choice to go for the more expensive ones.
Hope it fixes your problem! It is a bit frustrating getting it on the outer tub but it will go on. I haven’t had any issues with mine except of the wrinkles blocking water up against the glass. Other than that it’s been fine.

Oh cool,
Considering from the sound of it it sounds like you’ve had experience with replacing it before, do I have to take it out from currently under the sink and do I have to take the outer cabinet off or is it just a simple case of pushing the seal in to unclip it or something of the like?

You’ll need to remove the top of the machine
It’s not too hard.
There’s a clamp that’s held on with a screw that holds the seal onto the tub. Just undo that screw and take the whole clamp out. After that it’s just a matter of pulling the old seal off. There is a lip the seal goes onto on both sides.
It’s pretty straight forward. Not a massive job.

Oh wonderful, thank you
I’ll just have to get something to support the sink that it sits underneath, but wow, I’m glad to hear

Good news, I have replaced the seal
It’s not leaking, although I couldn’t find a genuine seal, so I had to go with the generic one, it looks a little ill fitting but it did actually fit and seal in all the proper places
